- Provided proprietary software tools to support over 300 engineers on the Lockheed Martin "ERAM" program, contracted by the FAA for $2.15 billion; Functionality of the tools included streamlining usage of third-party requirements management tools such as ARTiSAN® and DOORS®, data manipulation and integration, and automation of tasks and processes- Held full development responsibility including software design, programming, testing, documentation, end user distribution, and troubleshooting/maintenance. This was a privilege and a challenge, especially considering the number of engineers who are using my tools for their work- Combined all the developed tools into one user interface with the focus of simple, intuitive navigation by creating a systems design template which contains all of the tools as well as descriptive text and visual guides which explain the features of each tool- Improved the working efficiency of engineers by significantly shortening lengthy and tedious stages common in defense contracting product delivery, and enforced customer specifications as well as organizational standards necessary in large-scale projects; Followed up with ex co-workers still on the program and found that the users are happily and effectively using the developed tools- Loaned out to different software engineering departments through positive recognition and reviews of my work, and held multiple project responsibilities through good multitaskingTechnologies used:.NET (C#, VB.NET), C++, VB6, HTML, JavaScript, XML, Windows desktop application development, UML, SysML, DOORS, ARTiSAN, Visual Studio, VBA** About the program: ERAM is replacing the previous "HOST" air traffic control program nationwide. With ERAM, air traffic controllers will be able to track 1,900 aircraft at a time, instead of the previous 1,100 from HOST. ERAM is the first major process in unifying all aspects of air traffic control in North America and the U.K. through the FAA's NextGen system.**

Experienced Mechanical Engineer with more than thirteen years experience in test support, project/program management, product design, engineering and drafting. I have experience in effectively training personnel and improving processes as well as excellent time-management and written and verbal skills.

During the second tour at BAE, I was assigned to the Turret Structures group to work on design and integration for the Army’s GCV armored vehicle. The conceptual models were created using Pro/E (Pro/Engineer) software and its various modules. Pro/E and ProductView were utilized to check vehicle sub-system integration and assembly. Several of my assigned tasks required Pro/Mechanica to perform preliminary analysis on parts and assemblies. I prepared the data and review packages for the customers and internal program management. When not designing the systems for the Turret Structure, I was assigned to engineer a highly restrictive, low maintenance bearing system, which caused several iterations of analysis before arriving at a solution. This system was finally produced as a test asset.

I was involved in designing and engineering of various chassis’ for R&D and production armored track and wheeled vehicles for each military branch. The vehicle programs ranged from concept to a final assembled, test vehicle supplied to the customer. The conceptual structures were created using Pro/E software and its various modules. Pro/E and ProductView were used to check vehicle sub-system integration prior to final assembly. The iterative design process involved taking the model load analysis from the Simulations group and incorporating changes based on their results in order to meet stringent customer requirements. During this period, I was assigned the lead engineer role of the Structures group, which involved management of sub-systems, resourcing and schedules. As the Lead Engineer, coordination across teams and sub-contracts was critical in leading to fewer assembly/manufacturing issues during the builds. I prepared the data and review packages for the customers and internal program management.

At Loral, I was responsible for designing structural components for various satellite programs. Component and assembly drafting, using Pro/E, was a large portion of the tasks assigned, as well as preparing BOMs for production and documentation for engineering orders and changes.

My employment at this NASA facility spanned two contracts from […] During this time, I was a test conductor supporting the test of various space shuttle thrusters at vacuum, using the SASS equipment (boiler/steam and/or vacuum pumps). My position was responsible for the supervision and resourcing of up to 17 personnel (technicians and engineers). The position also involved maintaining and repairing the steam and vacuum systems (and their secondary systems). Due to the interaction of the various systems during test support, data analysis of engine and system performance was frequently employed. During non-test support times, I was responsible for maintaining and creating the documentation (operation procedures) as well as training personnel for test conducting, support and boiler operations. For new programs that came in requiring system modification, I prepared the design calculations using MathCAD software. For project management and resourcing analysis, MS Project was used to prepare schedules, budgeting and presentations for cyclic reviews (monthly/semi-annual/annual). During my employment here, I became certified as a Six Sigma Green Belt for involvement with the OJT systems creation, which is still being utilized today. After implementation of this new program, records were centralized, forms were standardized and the information generated was well controlled and available for monthly progress reports to upper management.
